Not downloading last record from VP2 logger on Cumulustartup

[nugget]

Hi,
Not sure if I'm not doing something silly here as I have only had my VP2 (and Cumulus) for a few days so far. I tend to shut down my PC in the evening so first thing in the morning I start Cumulus and allow it to download the most recent records from the VP2 logger since shutdown. It consistently seems to download all except the most recent.

Example:
Shutdown previous night at 8pm, start up cumulus this morning at 6:28am. I would expect all records up to and including 6:20am as that should have been logged 8 minutes ago (both logger and cumulus set to 10 minute updates).
The last entry in Feb11log.txt however is for 6:10am. Also Timestamp in today.ini is 6:10am. If I allow Cumulus to continue running then it will log 6:30am in Feb11log.txt but it will obviously not retrieve the 6:20am reading from the logger.
Clocks on both console and PC show the same time/date

I am running v1.9.1 build 979

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

It's a bug in the Davis code. I can't remember whether it's the station itself, or the Davis DLL which Cumulus uses to interface with the station.

I had a look to see what happens when you talk to the station directly, and you get all of the data. So the bug is in the DLL.

Thanks for the quick reply Steve. We can hope that there will be an update from Davis some time in the future that will fix it. In the mean time I guess it's not too bad as it's not much of an issue. If I feel I have missed a 'crucial' reading in that last 10 minutes I guess I can always 'back date' the timetstamp in today.ini and download from an earlier time and then remove duplicates.
